Training & COaching
BD Training
Our business development learning journeys cover both technical and soft skills, tailored to resonate with your professionals.
Strong relationships, whether internal or external to the firm, are crucial for professional services firms. Our Business Development Training takes firms across our BD Blueprint. Historically, Business Development Training has focused on technical skills like pitching, presentation, negotiation, relationship mapping, and planning. We provide these core skills, but we also think about the BD Super Skills that professionals need; soft skills such as active listening, empathy, trust, and influence.
​
Our business development learning journeys are tailored to resonate with your professionals. Engaging in business development drives market performance and growth. We address the limiting beliefs that exist around business development and provide a way forward, ensuring your team excels.
​
We use behavioural change theory to create lasting learning experiences, aiming to make a real difference. Our training programmes combine top-tier skills training with coaching and behavioural change psychology, ensuring maximum return on investment. Unlike other providers, we believe coaching alongside training builds confidence and ensures skills are effectively applied.

Our Business Development Blueprint
Our business development training follows our "gather, reflect, act" approach. We've developed a comprehensive blueprint that covers all aspects of training.
At its core is the Stakeholder Square, focusing on gathering insights from clients and key stakeholders. We conduct a business development audit to identify skill gaps, then split training into technical and super skills.
The foundation is strength-based psychology, culture and mindset, with an emphasis on reflection and action.

Strategy Days and
Sessions
One of the biggest challenges with professional services firms is the balancing a multitude of views and opinions, not to mention busy schedules.
Stakeholder workshops, and partner and team away days can provide invaluable insight. They can help shape your goals, they can provide a window into the current realities, and they can provide challenge and enthusiasm for the future.
​
Client Talk can help plan, arrange, and facilitate onsite and offsite strategy days or sessions, saving you time and getting you the outputs that you want to see.
Gather - Business Development Diagnostic
Client Talk has developed a unique diagnostic tool based on behavioural change theory to help you assess your professionals.
Professional services companies face the challenge of having experts who aren't necessarily skilled in marketing and business development. Client Talk addresses this with a unique diagnostic tool based on
behavioural change theory, assessing professionals on skills, motivation, mindset, and understanding of strategy.
This easy-to-use tool provides powerful insights, helping firms generate the best return on investment. A simple questionnaire is analysed to produce a report with actionable recommendations, offering a traffic light assessment and skills grid to unlock strategic potential.
